Context
SARs give the holder the right to receive value tied to the appreciation of the company’s stock (often settled in cash or stock); this filing does not specify settlement terms. Because this is a compensation award rather than an outright purchase or sale, it reflects company compensation practice rather than an immediate insider buy/sell signal.
